    Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it’s hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we’ll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?

        It’s true, but being a close 2nd behind Apple for most valuable public company by market cap is not a bad place to land despite it.
